Not an entomologist, but I'm thinking terrestrial flatworm - with the white belly perhaps microplana terrestris?

Yup, i think you are right! Still dont know how he managed to get there, but at least im a little bit less worried to take my shower now...

I had a lot of snails these days in my garden and these flatworm prey on them, so that makes sense.
